Digital technology is increasingly important to fund managers, including in the area of fund distribution.

Funds Europe, in partnership with Calastone, surveyed fund houses for insight into their needs in the years ahead.

In Part 2 of the research paper we ask asset managers where they would be investing to build tech capability in distribution. We see that much investment currently centres on data collection and client reporting technology.

In the future, our research indicates that blockchain/DLT, and mobile apps, will take on more importance, as well as the personalisation of products.
